It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I've seen this said a few times on here (possibly by you, perhaps somebody else) you do realise in that FA cup game, Rodri also played and was even worse than dinho right?

He was playing in a one-man midfield in the weirdest shape ever seen from a professional team, in fairness.

That fanbase are something else. Remind me of the scousers.

TBH, I think Spurs lot aren't far behind. They think Levy's spending 100 million on new players to play with Kane.

They've definitely got that scouse entitlement thing going on. Yes, they once won the European Cup, an amazing achievement. But a lot of their fanbase seem to have conveniently forgotten that they were a Championship side only a couple of seasons ago and haven't won a major trophy since 96.

They've now got wealthy owners and think they're on the cusp of something (long term, maybe they will kick on), yet hate City for having wealthy owners. I get that us signing some of their key players won't have endeared us to them, but the level of vitriol towards City from them in comparison to fans of other clubs is weird given we've never been direct rivals.

To be fair I think Gabby is better than a back up.

A guy I know claiming itk status says Pep loves Gabby’s work rate.

we all do.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Going out for lunch later so I’ll be checking out the local estate agent’s, see if anything expensive and tacky has been bought ;-)

In Kane's case, it's already been bought

The annoying thing Spurs fans do is this hyperinflation of what Levy's going to get them.

News breaks about us signing Grealish for a British record fee and all the Spurs fans start chirping about how if Grealish is worth 90 then Levy wont sell for less than 160/180/200m depending on how stupid the particular fan is.

 

[Keeper!]

He's not real.

Oh, you mean the Brazil striker?

Word is City want to keep him but things might be clearer once Kane signs.

Wow if we did keep him and sign Kane and Grealish we have some major options and Pep some major headaches.

Gabby could play with Kane. From the left or right. They could be a great foil for each other

This. 100%. Would love to Jesus and Kane play alongside each other.

Yeah but wanted an excuse to go out for lunch ;-)

And who do you drop?

Sterling, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, KDB, Gundo, (Bernardo), Torres?

If Kane comes I can't see him staying around, hope I am wrong.

Tbf from the sound of things whether Jesus stays or not seems to be more on him than the club, although that's just me putting 2 and 2 together. So hopefully he's willing to stay.

Everyone gets dropped. It's a squad game. We'll play about 70 odd games a season. Even KDB will sit out 10-15 games I reckon if Kane comes in.

 

[decmancity]

More money for the net spend.

It's possible he's seen the likes of Gundogan, Stones, Mahrez, Foden, Zinchenko, Bernardo etc all bide their time at one stage or another and fight their way into the team eventually that he may fancy his chances too.

I was thinking more as part of a front 3....with Gabby and sterling we would still have a very dynamic front 2 at least ...plus foden as well

 

[LongsightM13]

Surely only a matter of time before we start seeing more weird articles like that F365 ‘jumpers for goalposts’ nonsense and this classic doozie from WhatsApp wanker Jonathan Liew

Squad rotation. The counter argument that people have been posting when others have pointed out Kanes potential injury issues is that unlike spurs we will be able to rotate or rest him....even within games as well as game to game

I like your thinking would be exiting to watch

Im pretty sure the maximum amount of games we can play is 62, and that’s if we get to every final.

And we played 61 of them last season
